00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,839 --> 00:00:07,599
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,679
Hey there, fellow anglers, it's your buddy Artificial Lure here,

4
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:14,640
and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the

5
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:18,199
Florida Keys and Miami area. First off, let's talk about

6
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:22,239
the conditions today, February tenth, twenty twenty five. We're looking

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,399
at a beautiful day with calm winds, perfect for getting

8
00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:28,120
out on the water. Sunrise is at six point fifty

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,199
eight am and sunset will be at six ten pm,

10
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:35,560
giving us plenty of daylight to catch some serious action. Now,

11
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:39,159
let's dive into the tides for the content keys and

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,679
content passage. Today's tides are as follows Low tide at

13
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:44,799
four thirty one am with the height of Magti point

14
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:47,719
twenty five meters, high tide at ten fifty two am

15
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:51,000
with point three five meters, another low tide at three

16
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:54,280
seven pm with point one six meters, and finally high

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,840
tide at nine twenty five pm with zero point nine

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,320
eight meters. These tides should provide some great opportunity for

19
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:04,519
both shallow and deeper water fishing. The fishing in the

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,599
Florida keys is heating up and February is proving to

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,599
be an excellent month for various species. Offshore, the sailfish

22
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:15,120
bite is on fire as we approach their spawn time.

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,519
You can also expect big smoker kingfish, saro and Spanish mackerel,

24
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:24,359
and some thrilling black fintuna action. Wahu and mahai are

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,879
also making appearances, though they can be a bit more

26
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:31,519
sporadic for those targeting apex predators. Large barracuda are active,

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,239
and if you're up for a challenge, the Monster Shark

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,079
charters are producing multiple larger sharks even on half day trips.

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,840
In the reef and wreck areas. Amberjackfishing remains strong and

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,319
kobea action is excellent. Snapper, including mutton snapper, are plentiful,

31
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:52,000
although yellowtail and mangrove snapper numbers are slowing down slightly

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,599
for February. Grouper fishing is closed until May in Monroe County,

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,400
but other species are making up for it. The donkey,

34
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:04,280
amberjack and the elusive permit, though less active in February,

35
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:08,719
are still worth a shot for the experienced angler. Near shore,

36
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,439
the patch reefs are a great spot, offering a mix

37
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:15,319
of backcountry and reef fishing in colmer waters. Here you

38
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:17,840
can target a variety of species without the need for

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,360
deep sea gear. Backcountry fishing is also on fire, with

40
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:25,400
fast paced action from schooling species like jacks, sea trout,

41
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,800
pompano and more. Redfish and kobe are providing excellent action,

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,120
and while snook are less active due to cooler water temps,

43
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:36,120
there are days when they come alive for lures and bait.

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,240
Live baits such as pilchards and shrimp are always a hit,

45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,680
especially for species like snapper and kobia. For kingfish and mackerel,

46
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,680
spoons and jigs work well. If you're after sailfish, use

47
00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:52,840
a combination of ballyhoo and skirted lures. In the backcountry,

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,639
soft plastics and jigs are great for redfish and sea trout.

49
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,159
If you're looking for some hotspots, I highly recommend the

50
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:03,639
long Key Bridge and Tom's Harbor Bridges. These spots are

51
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,319
known for their diverse range of fish, including yellowjacks, permit, kobia, snook, tarpain,

52
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,479
and even sharks. The fishing peer walkway at long Key

53
00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:16,520
Bridge makes it an excellent location for both beginners and

54
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,520
seasoned anglers. Another great spot is the Patch Reefs, about

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,919
six to eight miles offshore from Miami. These natural formations

56
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,080
offer a variety of fish species and are protected from

57
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:32,120
rough seas, making them ideal for those who prefer calmer waters.

58
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,080
So grab your gear and get ready for an exciting

59
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:39,560
day on the water. The Florida Keys and Miami area

60
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:42,719

61
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,719
